Phoenix, as well as Arizona in general, got it start during the Western development days of the 1800′s. The city was incorporated in 1881 and served as a hub for transportation and commerce in the Western United States. Wickenburg was actually the first city to be established in the area, in 1863.
Most often, the image that Phoenix creates in one’s mind is the hot desert. Located in the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix proudly owns the title of the warmest temperature of any major city in the US with summer highs exceeding 110 degrees Fahrenheit. This requires that you alsways think about what you store in the shipping containers. The winters are also warm during the day but will cool down in the evening. What many visitors do not realize is that Arizona and Phoenix are home to monsoons in the late summer and can bring volatile weather. Regardless, Phoenix is home to many clear days and beautiful skies.
Phoenix is broke down into fifteen “villages”: Deer valley, Camelback East, Central City, Alhambra, Ahwatukee Foothills, Desert View, North Mountain, Laveen, Maryvale, Paradise Valley, Rio Vista, North Gateway, South Mountain, Estrella and Encanto. This village concept pays tribute to the villages and cultures that were annexed into Phoenix during its development. The city is home to a number of sports teams and has a strong fan following. The Arizona Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks, Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Coyotes all compete for fan attention. Despite bankruptcy issues, the coyotes have remained in Phoenix.
Phoenix has developed at a substantial rate over the last 10-15 years. While its origins are in cotton, citrus, cattle and copper, Phoenix has developed into a hub for business, education and healthcare. Real estate and building development grew very rapidly until 2009 when the housing collapsed caused a major correction and decrease in home, condo and rental prices. Phoenix is also home to a good sports fan base, paying loyalty to the Cardinals, Coyotes, and Diamondbacks. The environment is also a main attraction for Phoenix. Along with Arizona, Phoenix is home to many great parks and recreational areas that offer great hiking, climbing and relaxation.
